    I like the fact that it can save consumers money in the long run.I wonder how the oil companies will respond to this? We needed these kind of cars years ago. From the page: "The Ford Escape PHEV is an excellent representation of emerging technology, just the type of vehicle that many automotive manufacturers will be producing in the coming years with a big push taking place beginning in 2010. Ford, Nissan, General Motors, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai among others have each committed to building PHEV and/or pure electric vehicles, and if Chinaâ€s BYD Automotive can figure out how to build crashworthy cars, then it may introduce its fleet of all-electric vehicles to the United States as early as next year"

    From the page: "While driving, I casually stole a few glances at the flow display every now and then, pleased to see that our mpg was increasing steadily. When we pulled up at the convention center the verdict was in: we achieved 94.2 mpg for our twenty minute jaunt around downtown Raleigh!" My thoughts: Is that unbelievable or what!? Way to go Ford...and they didn't get help from the bailout money either!
